Up until now, every photo of PLA armored vehicles equipped with Active Protection Systems has featured the newer platforms: Type 99A/B, ZBD‑04A, and the like. But now we finally have a field shot of an older Type 96 MBT casually sporting one.
Also worth noting: the accompanying maintenance support vehicle is carrying an unmanned ground vehicle, designed to haul equipment and supplies to support crews at a maintenance site or near a “damaged tank” under fire . A very practical upgrade as sending a drone to fetch tools beats sending a "GI Zhou" any day if you ask me.
